Rosé released her debut solo album Rosie this fall featuring the lead single "Apt" which has been charting steadily across different Billboard listings with significant recognition in a variety of categories despite heavy Christmas song traffic. The single by Rosé featuring Bruno Mars has continually grown on US radio charts even after sales and streaming charts began showing a backward movement. This growth marks "Apt" achieving important history making milestones across all media forms in record time since its release.
Rosé’s single "Apt" has climbed to number nine from number eleven on Pop Airplay which charts most successful pop tracks on top forty stations across the US marking a crucial entrance into top ten of popular music for the first time. This achievements makes Rosé stand out in her category among other musicians with this recent success. Rosé has claimed a level of notoriety normally reserved for only popular US musicians that signals immense global demand for her unique sounds as "Apt" shows continuous strong performances. This demonstrates a global influence within the charts as more non-western music gets heard globally.
Rosé as the Blackpink member becomes first solo female K-Pop musician to enter the Pop Airplay top ten on Billboard demonstrating new potential of a K-Pop female solo artist across global music charts. Rosé grew her musical career in K-pop after being born in New Zealand earning her spot in the Korean entertainment industry while becoming famous worldwide through her talent as singer. Her achievements mark huge gains in the area of Korean female soloists having success in mainstream western music charts as she bridges different categories. Her strong connections to Korean music combined with global accessibility has changed expectations for soloists coming from South Korea in the mainstream west.
Rosé also surpasses Psy's prior charting record of "Gangnam Style" with her smash single that ranked at number ten over a decade ago solidifying her as the highest charting South Korean soloist on the top forty pop list as "Apt" reaches the number nine spot. Rosé has created new boundaries for other solo musicians in the K-Pop world in their potential performance on the Pop Airplay charts with every single climb showing future potential. Rosé's unique talents are making inroads towards global popularity making room for more unique voices from the Korean market to gain wider public exposure.
Last week Rosé jointly held the position of the second highest-rising hit by a solo South Korean artist along with Jung Kook whose song “Left and Right” which featured Charlie Puth was listed at number eleven in 2022. Rosé has now outpaced Jung Kook and Psy's achievements solidifying her dominance within solo Korean musicians’ charting performance on global lists while making her way to the very top. “Left and Right” in collaboration between Jung Kook and Charlie Puth was immensely popular across many markets with Rosé surpassing the mark with her record of number nine with a strong likelihood for more movement upward as record time demonstrates this momentum.
Three South Korean songs not exclusively solo acts have achieved higher spots within Pop Airplay charts compared to Rosé’s single. BTS' "Dynamite" hit a record at number five a four years earlier from present date with the band Fifty Fifty also hitting number seven during that same time with “Cupid” demonstrating an upward mobility of songs and styles from south korea in major international markets. "Butter" another BTS title stayed at number seven within 2021 with the septet's songs all consistently performing well across the board on diverse charts. These various songs from Korean acts signify the immense international recognition Korean music industry has experienced the past five to ten years due to collaborations and fan dedication making a permanent imprint on pop music.
"Apt" with continued growth has not necessarily finished its climb and therefore may impact the order of top charting South Korean performers on Pop Airplay. Bruno Mars’ well-known record for reliable hits also is supporting the song to gain widespread appeal on radio stations across various markets. With the powerful collaborative potential of both artists the track may potentially set higher benchmarks in global music history making records in the coming weeks. Rosé’s song continues to display her growing influence as musician and has shown her potential to set new records for Korean solo performers in the Pop genre further blurring previously made barriers and limits in genre classifications of popular music within major markets like the US.
